How to Use the Map Pins in the Profit Pal App

If you have gotten familiar with the Profit Pal App by now you will have noticed these funny looking rectangular boxes with a what looks like a pinpointing downward in them. Those are the Map Pins, and they are used by the app to calculate distance. They are an interesting and very useful feature of the app.

How they work is the uppermost pin is for your job location. So you tap on the pin it opens the map, and you move the map until you see the general location of the new job. You don’t need to be exact just close enough. A Red Star will come up at that location marking it. Next, you hit done left-hand top of the screen. The location map pin is set. Next, you tap the map pin identified as Current Location. Each time you tap the map pin it will show your current location. So leave that one as is, since its snowing where you are currently located. That’s it the app now has both your new job location and your current location. The app will use both to calculate the distance from your current location to the new job location.
